Thanks for the love and for watching everyone!!!! Hope you are having a great new year filled with lots of upgrades! Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already and Keep IT Real!!!
@Austin One yeah it’s the Moria3 which is mATX so this one will fit
Hi Jeff, Is there any way to remove the top panel from the case? I can remove the front and the side panel but cant find a way to remove the top.
@@abhijitdash on some you can and on some you can’t I guess.
So, I found how to do it. First open the side panel and then the front glass panel. After that remove the two wifi antennas by unscrewing the 2 screws. Then there are 4 screws that hold the front mesh wrap around. Unscrew and push the whole front bracket down. Then push the top panel forward. Little long to get there but finally got it. Hope this helps someone.
@@abhijitdash thank you for the info. I will share it around for those who have asked. I really appreciate it
I have learned so much over the last two weeks of watching videos like this. Thanks for adding to my education.
This is very helpful, thank you for making these videos!
Great video Jeff. It looks like you just swapped your SSD over from the old motherboard to the new. Is it that simple, or did you just reinstall Windows and start fresh? Any motherboard drivers or anything else needed to have continuity of your system from the old motherboard to the new? Also didn't see anything about a wifi or network card. Is that built-in to the motherboard or something that needs to be swapped over?
I originally bought a 30L thinking it would be easy to upgrade over time, but the stock motherboard has been a big limiting factor.
I might have missed it but can you still use the orignal from ran RGB and the Omen logo? Do they just use an RGB pin on the new mobo?
Thanks - your video answered some questions I had with this case.
Everything you said about the omen motherboard in the intro…. I strongly agreed good job man
Thanks friend!
Was tempted to do the same thing, but I didn't want to defeat the purpose of getting a pre-built. Gonna just push it until it crashes. I think the new software updates allow you to push it as of this month I think.
Hi Jeff! Do you know if the MSI B550 A PRO would fit in the Omen 30L? Thanks in advance and amazing job on your videos. You're the " Omen 30 L guy " hahah. Not a lot of support for us out there.
It won’t, it is an ATX motherboard and you need mATX
how do you connect the rgb module to the motherboard pls i need help idk where to connect the rgb to :/
Hi I almost finished installing a ASUS Pime Z590 motherboard into my HP omen 40L and was able fit the Original AIO (With Led) too. But I had to remove some standoffs because there's no mounting holes at the other end of the board (Those standoffs would touch the board)... I made new extension cables for the AIO, One fan, Audio, USB, Power Switch and LED Power (That one goes to the RGB hub). I made sure that all the cables match the Omen ones too (Pin to Pin), and you can't see the plug in connectors because they are hidden behind the side cover, so all looks normal the inside the case..I used the thin straight black Omen fan wires from some HP fans that I bought to make the extension cables look professional... It's still all HP Omen 40l inside except for the motherboard....
Will this work with a amd 5600x ? I tried putting it all together on pc part picker just to see if it was compatible but it’s saying it’s not ? What’s the best cpu that can be paired w this?
hello Jeff! i was considering doing this as I bought a nzxt h510 case and I realized the omen board is limited to what plugs into it. This video gave me the confidence to go ahead and swap my board and just transfer some parts over as demonstrated on your video, one of the questions I have is will I have to redownload/purchase windows? Do I need to touch bios at all I have a ryzen 5 3600, I'm not tech savvy so sorry for all the questions anyways thanks a bunch brotha! your giving us omen owners some hope!
You won’t have to redownload or repurchase windows. If you get the motherboard that I linked you won’t have to touch the bios unless you want to run XMP, which you do, that is easy to set up
@@JeffTheITGuy thank you so much! you sir are a life saver !
@@lucynomonay9657 you’re welcome
@@JeffTheITGuy not to hijack someone else's comment, but if I choose to use a different b550 mobo, would it be a straight swap as well? Or would I have to reinstall windows?
hello, very good video. i have a similar situation right now but my question is: what can i do with the ilumination of the case. Becouse de OMEN COMAND CENTER will no recognize the desktop any more. Thank You and very good video.
Personally, I use Asrock Z590m pro to replace my omen motherboard. It has an m.2 slot for wifi similar to omen z490, so you do not have to buy another external wifi, and basically keep everything as it is. I also link my win11 pro license to my Microsoft account and immediately perform a fresh install afterward, and my windows stay activated until this day (Not sure what will happen if you sell the motherboard to someone else).
Another thing I do want to point out is, do not use XMP if you choose to pair your HP rams with two other rams (only ram upgrade should be your reasoning to upgrade your motherboard, or you should upgrade your case and water cooling first). Enable XMP will result in making your system very unstable and causing constant blue screens. However, manually setting all rams to run at 3200 (and leaving anything else in BOIS as auto) will fix this issue. Have no idea why, and I will be delighted if someone can tell me why. Anyway, if enabling XMP will make your system unstable, this is the way to go. Do not try to put a full-size ATX motherboard into your 30l case. IT WILL NOT FIT! Micro ATX will fit perfectly. Also, please make sure your new motherboard comes with an m.2 slot for your wifi card (not sure whether a normal m.2 slot will work, but I highly doubt that), or be prepared to pay around 50 dollars to get another decent wifi6 expansion card (unless your new motherboard has onboard wifi, but in this case, I am trying to save as much as I can).
If you also plan to keep your water cooler, you may need to buy another CPU backplate because the one currently on the omen motherboard will never come off (I knew it because I tried). Any LGA 1200/115X CPU Water Block Backplate will do the job and fit perfectly, but the screws on the omen water cooler are indeed a little bit too short, so I have to get another 10mm M3 standoffs to keep my old omen water cooler in place.
As you may already have found out, it is a hassle to replace Omen's motherboard. In the end, although I feel like my Asrock Z590M Pro4 is just a little bit better than the original z490 (and for some reason, the water cooler produces more noise than before), I am happy that this is all over. If you are not planning to upgrade your ram, please upgrade your case and water cooler first before you even consider replacing your motherboard. In the end, I only get a more noisy desktop with virtually no performance gain.
I do not speak English as my first language, and I am sure everyone's experience may vary. If you notice any problems, please point them out so I may make a correction.
Hey bro, so when u switched ur m.2 to new computer it booted normal and then u did windows clean install? Did you have to install windows in a usb or anythibg or can I just put my m.2 from my omen to a asus tuf b560m plus motherboard?
@@sporejetmir123 It booted normal, but a clean re-install is always recommended.
@@anyleftovers IS THE HYPERFURYX that comes with the hp omen 30l ram good
@@Xekuter69 yes, other than the fact it does not play well with the non-hp ram, it is pretty decent.
super late but being 2023 is this still the best motherboard for the Omen? Not trying to start all over...
does changing the motherboard also effects the difference like a new motherboard will it be more powerful then the stock omen one ?
Depends. For a 3700X it had a little more power however, being able to use fast ram with fast timings made it much faster.
You linked the B550M Aorus Pro in your description so i'm assuming that fits as well? Would it be the same process as in the video?
Yes it would fit abs yes the process will be the same
Don’t know if I’ll get a reply but where did you plug in the light bar ? And it would be great to have added a final picture of all the wiring at the end of the video , thank you
So quick question. I just got the 30L with the 2060 in it. I’m not looking at doing in within the next couple days, but what makes this motherboard better than the one already in it? I’m new to PCs and I’m using this PC as my upgrade one so I can learn how to do it all on my own.
The stock motherboard has a limit of 65w on the cpu which limits performance. Plus better features like XMP, higher CPU Voltage, overclocking, etc.
Out of practical benefit, this is actually a kind of joyful play for us, just like making models! Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome
@@JeffTheITGuy bro real shit u a saver thanks so much
@@JeffTheITGuy but i got one question. can you upgrade the case of the 30L . i wanna change the case of it to a corsair 4000d cuz id ont like how the 30L looks. thanks
@@alrbruhalrbruh7623 yeah you can change the cases
You mention the Power SW and Reset SW at 18:20 and then you said "no that's LED at 18:30". I can't find one on my machine, I've got LED (coming from the lighting board), Audio and Power but no Reset. Was there a Reset SW cable on your machine?
Hey Jeff could I possibly buy a power supply that’s smaller than the one I have but also has 750 watts or more and then fit a 3 slot gpu ?
Is it absolutely necessary to replace the power supply? I got an asrock steel series 550m and if I can get away with it I’d rather not replace the power supply yet.
Hey, quick question, im upgrading to a phanteks 400a case with three front rgb fans, plus two 120mm fans on top of the case and a 120mm rgb fan at the rear, a cpu cooler from arctic freezer 34 esports duo, the mother board mentioned in the video, and finally a corsair vengeance x2 8gb ddr4 3200mhz rgb ram. Im running the Ryzen 7 3700x along w a rtx2060, should i upgrade the psu? If so any recommendations?
I would. I have a video on here showing how to swap the PSU with my recommendations.
Hey so if I change the motherboard would I still be able to use the rgb that comes with the omen like the the led bar the front rgb fan and the rgb logo? Would Appreciate the help thank you (:
I have heard reports that the light bar will work and the fan. Not sure about the logo
I changed the motherboard (destroyed the stock one while changing cpu cooler) as well and my new asus motherboard only has 4 pins for light control. With the omen having a 8 pin plug, while only 4 are wired Im now afraid to plug it in, Im afraid it wont work. The module also doesnt tell you which pin is for what
Great info I have the same Oman 30 L . I am ok with taking it apart and resampling it I have that down but I want a different motherboard. wanting hdmi and displayport outlets and I was looking at a GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO-P AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard , and I don't understand if this will fit the Oman 30L case, not sure how the sizing system and hole if they will line up, I did order the Power supply and will upgrade the nvidia card when they are available. Great work.
That board will fit
Does the 1660 fit on the motherboard still ?
Will it work if I add the little graphics card it come with ?
I’m currently trying to do the same with a b550 micro but mines won’t turn on any suggestions
I noticed you didn't move or add/remove standoffs. It's been a long time since I've disassembled a desktop PC, having used laptops for the last decade or so. Are mobo standoffs pretty standard now or should I plan on buying a pack of extras? Looking into replacing my stock HP Moira with an X570
Also, with this, does the OMEN 30L have places for other standoffs?
@@dragondave413 yeah the standoffs are standard. It doesn’t have places for other standoffs and you need to get a mATX board or it won’t fit
You can plug in the power switch cable to other motherboards? Just want to know just in case if my motherboard goes bad and need an upgrade at the same time
You need extensions because the power connector cable isn’t long enough
Hey Jeff! I have a HP Omen Obelisk. I wanted to upgrade my cpu to something like the AMD Ryzen 5 5600x but I know I need a motherboard upgrade for that. Would this motherboard work with my Omen Obelisk and that cpu I just mentioned? If not, do you have any advice for which direction I should go? This is all new to me and I'm pretty confused haha.
From what I am seeing yes this motherboard would work in the omen obelisk and yes the CPU will work but the motherboard will need a bios update
@@JeffTheITGuy thanks! Do I need to get front panel extension cables? Or can I just use what I currently have?
@@Freistat134 I would get them
Will upgrading to this M/B allow me to use higher hz cpu like core i9 or core i7 12th gen?
Hey Jeff, I just put the AsRock in. My question is, where do I connect the Omen 30L case lights to the new motherboard? Or is that not an option,?
Usb off the daughter board I believe
@@JeffTheITGuy Hmm not sure what you mean? USB 2.0 header?
@@HmmChunkyLizard yea
@@JeffTheITGuy Okay, thanks.
What do I have to do after installing or do I need to go into BIOS
Nope the B550 is Ryzen 3000 ready. If it is for a Ryzen 5000 CPU it will need an update
Those honorable mention motherboards are for sure compatible with this Omen30L right ? Lmk people asap please
You said you need to upgrade the power supply if I don’t what I’ll happen? Also mine came with Hyper x ram and I wanted to add more if I do do I just stick in the extra 2?
They all come with Hyper X Ram. Also I have a few other vids going over this PC. Give them a watch they will answer your questions
Where did you connect the front RGB daughter board? Are they using a USB connection now? Used to be proprietary.
USB header I believe
hey so i have a omen 30L but I have a 5600G ryzen processor and it says that the board supports it but might need a bios upgrade how would I get this upgrade done without a cpu that already works for the motherboard? also are all 30l cases the same pertaining to the power switch and the usb ports on the top front?
Hey, so you have a 30L that came with a 5600G in it and you want to use this AsRock board? If that is the case look at the motherboard box and it will say if it is Ryzen 5000 or Ryzen 5000 APU compatible.
Were you able to re-use the LED bar or front logo or fan LEDs from the Omen?
Nope I was not. The performance was worth more to me than the front fan and logo and such. I changed the front fan
Would this work on the 25L? (mines specifically the r7 3700x cpu, and rx 5700 gpu model)
It should I do believe
If there was a motherboard to compare the HP motherboard with what would it be?? I can't find the stats on the hp motherboard so I don't know how good it really is :/
its a moira 3 im p sure you can find the specs onlinep
If I replace the motherboard will I loose the omen bios for the one that comes with the new motherboard. The omen bios is basically useless since it is locked. Thanks in advance.
If you switch motherboards, yes you will no longer have to worry about the omen bios
Hello I took out my 2060 out of my omen 30L and put it back in and everytime I boot it says please power down and put in pcie cables but my cables are in plz help idk what to do
Yeah I’ve had that happen. Check the power to your GPU. This happens when you plug in the 6 pin but not the 8 pin. Make sure your cables are all plugged in properly
Is the 2 slot motherboard mine came with in dual channel?
If it has 1 stick in it, then no. If it has 2 sticks then yes. The board does support dual channel
I got an asus board if I switch the motherboard do I need to go to bio or do anything in specific when switching the motherboard?
As long as the board is Ryzen 3000 ready then you are good to go. If you want XMP you will have to do that in the bios
Hey Jeff so I got the 850x psu does that fit in a 30 L omens and do I need to buy the front panel extensions cord ?
Yes
i love that freaking voice honestly
That drawl mixed with that humor is a perfect combo in my book. Smart, salty, to the point.
He sounds kinda like Dusty on Paradise PD bro Lmaoo
question brother youve been real helpful can you use two diffrent kinds of ram because the pc started to act weird when i tried it would cut off out of nowhere?
You can but it isn’t advised. Best to have a matched set
I watched this as I got my own HP omen 30L I want to upgrade, but I am curious, wouldn't the 3700 that come with the omen still be limited to 65w as its an OEM processor? as I believe the OEM 3700 is a Matisse?
The omen comes with a 3700X which is a 65w chip. It is still limited to 65w yes. However, with a new motherboard it will draw over 65w to maintain higher clocks
@@JeffTheITGuy , cheers for clearing that up, guess its the only component I'm keeping once I upgrade the Motherboard then.
would this solve the proprietary ram from HP so you could use any ram in the 30L ?
Yes
Hi Jeff, I have the omen 30L with rtx 3060 ryzen 5 5600g. I modified the fans and upgraded to 3200 32gb ram that was identical but cheaper than the original. Should I still upgrade my motherboard?
You could, it does provide more performance
@@JeffTheITGuy thank you for the quick reply!! You from Tx?
I have the 10700f, which micro ATX mb is able to fit in the 25l ? Or is it ANY m.atx board the supports 10th gen ?
Any mATX that supports 10th gent
Is this MoBo compatible with the new RTX 3000 series? Kind of a noob when it comes down to PC parts man, haha.
PS: I’m also rocking an omen 30L
Yes it is.
What type of motherboard is the original hp omen motherboard?
It is a Moria 3 B450 mATX motherboard
Do you still have WiFi when switching to this motherboard?
You can use the Wifi adapter from the old board but you need to move the antennas to make them work or you get a B550/B450 with WiFi
Hi, I bought the motherboard and lead extensions through your links, used them to upgrade my GF's stock Omen. I'm pretty well versed in PC building and repair myself, so I just wanted to possibly answer some questions before, or if they've been asked, and let people know a few things if they also go with the board you suggested:
1. The light bar does work if you plug it in to a USB2 header, so does the omen diamond and fan ring on the front if you leave the Omen SATA card and plug power in to it. However, they only light up white, and I have not found a solution to change the color, but Open RGB is getting better and better all the time, will update if I find a solution. I did not disconnect anything from it except the power when I changed the PSU, left it as it was, and simply reconnected the SATA power. EDIT: OpenRGB does now support the Omen case light control.
2. You don't have to buy wifi extenders if you run them across the top of the board. Yeah, it's ugly, but the 30L doesn't give you much room for cable management anyway.
3. In my case, the supplied Omen PSU will not power this board, as it only has a 4 pin ATX connector, the ASRock requires an 8 pin. I don't know if the PSU in every Omen comes with only 4 pin, but the GT13-0024 model does for sure, so you will need an appropriate PSU. I had a few around so I had no issue, but I would recommend going up to at least a 750w.
4. There is a lone removable screw standoff with 2 positions available under the mobo. You will need to move the standoff to the lower position to make use of all the mounting holes.
That said, it instantly gained power and performance, excellent recommendation, it saved me from buying a new case, and I had most of the parts I needed around already. The ASRock was an excellent deal at 90$ when I bought it, compared to the other 2 mentioned, and especially compared to the trash HP Moria board. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the kind words and the post to help others! Appreciate it.
I got everything working good but some USB ports and diamond light won’t shut off after powered down
Did you ever get the RGB light control back? Was wondering if an updated version of OpenRGB got it working for you as I was interested in upgrading my Omen.
@@yurika1355 Yes, I eventually stuck a Gigabyte A320M-S2H mobo in it and sent it on to my niece, OpenRGB immediately recognized the Omen light control card that was still in the case.
I bought the Omen as an intro for the wife to PC gaming... the 30L quickly gave way to me building her a 5600x/3080 system. 😅
@@shittalknskrap9801 Hi sorry, never got the notification... iirc that's to do with the BIOS settings on the ASRock board.
jeff where you get the drivers from graphic card , i want to trade the mooterboard and i have a hp omem with ryzen 9 3900 and rtx3070
I get the drivers from Nvidia.com or AMD.com
Did you have to re install windows or was it just transferring all the old components over and plug and play???
Just transfer the old components and go from there
Soon as I heard this cat, I had to hit that sub. His accent is the best lol
Thanks
you changed the power supply too ?
Hey Jeff! I have the hp omen and switch my board and noticed the plug that’s on the top left (power) i think, was a small 4 square plug on my old omen board but the plug on my new one is like a bigger port plug. Noticed you plugged in a bigger port for that section as well even tho you took off a 4 square port from the omen board. Question is where did that plug to fit the bigger port come from lol
That 4 pin connector is the CPU power. It can sometimes be a 4 or 8pin. They come on the power supply. If you look on the backside of the case you should find a 4 pin
@@JeffTheITGuy oh ok so there should be another 4 pin port hiding behind your saying to add with the other one that went with the stick omen board?
@@mikevandersande3231 yes. The single 4 pin should work as well

another question jeff so in changed to the b550m aorus pro how can i manage the rgb in the omen case since now that i dont use the omen motherboard and on the omen gaming hub it doesnt let me change it from there anymore? whenever you can answer me back would really appreciate it btw love your videos
So the “RGB” isn’t really RGB, it is just predefined colors. I didn’t fool with it because I upgraded everything but if you want RGB you can get some RGB fans, lighting strips, etc for cheap on Amazon.

What RAM are you running with the new motherboard?

I planning on legit changing the motherboard on my Omen to get the full power of my CPU and memory ram. One question thou, how do I go about the operating system? I don't mind getting a new windows key since from what I know, the operating system is married to the motherboard. Can I just replace the motherboard then get to Windows and change the Windows' key with another one?
The windows key is weird sometimes. They are tied to the motherboard and your windows account. Sometimes you can change the motherboard and not need a key. Sometimes you will need a key.
Either way, If you replace the motherboard, just do a windows reset after you swap, this will get rid of any settings or drivers and give you a clean slate to work with.
@@JeffTheITGuy thanks I appreciate the tip 👍
@@wesuda 👍
Do you need to reinstall windows 10 if you change the motherboard? Might sound like a stupid question but just making sure 👍
You can do a windows reset which is what I do, to make sure that my drivers are correct and such, just makes sure to make a backup of your sensitive data
@@JeffTheITGuy how do you do that?

will the b550m aorus pro that you put in honorable mentions fit fine on the 30l?
Yeah
Do you still need the extension cords for that motherboard ??
Can you reactivate your windows after the motherboard upgrade ? Or do you need to have a new windows activation code ?
You should be able to, just say you changed hardware
I’m gonna say something controversial, especially for an IT professional-
Microsoft consumer phone support is actually insanely good.
My omen glitched out when trying to buy the upgrade to 10 pro, it threw an enterprise key on my computer but never sent me the pro key in the email (due to buying from the application not the website store).
The phone support was absolutely top notch. After running through a couple verification hurtles, he was able to quickly identify the issue that happened on their end. A couple tricks from their side later and my computer automatically had the proper key + activation the next time i clicked the activate button.
*edit* if it gets to that point. Changing hardware is not nearly as painful as it used to be. I had to reinstall windows like 8 times while I was messing with my RAID arrays.
@@breakfast-burrito yep their support is really good in my opinion.
Hi Jeff, did you lose the ability to control the RGB through the Omen command center when you swapped the mobo?
Yes, you can always use the new Mobos RGB with better components
@@JeffTheITGuy so the front fan’s RGB and the diamond’s RGB will no longer be controllable? Also, do you know if a Kraken Z63 CPU cooler would fit the 30L’s case?
@@DateJust89 Z63 will not fit and that is correct. The Diamnond and fans connect to a PCB at the bottom. They aren’t technically RGB
@@JeffTheITGuy Oh okay, good to know. Really disappointing about the cooler. I should’ve asked you first, already ordered the cooler an hour ago. Now I’ll have to cancel it.

If it is a 10 series then you need a Z490,H460,etc. I would get a Z490 to take advantage of higher ram speeds as well as being able to move to a new case and overclock if it is a 1600k, 10700k or 10850/10900k. Here are some options:
amzn.to/3dtFeX9
amzn.to/2OGmklo
amzn.to/3jVXmd9
@@JeffTheITGuy Wow man! You're amazing! In one reply youve given me more help than 2 weeks of emails from HP support! They knew nothing about XMP or Bios restrictions at all! Thank you! New subscriber here!

@@IronDuke1815 you’re welcome. Glad that I could help!
Can you use the same power supply or do i need to buy a new one
You can use the same but you need cable entensions
So the stock cpu cooler won't work with a b550m?
The stock cpu cooler from the pre-built? No and it's a bad cooler
Will you ever do a case upgrade?
Nah. I’ve don’t build on the channel. It is pretty much the same thing.
I have an HP Omen 30l. It is the AMD Ryzen 3700x, with the RTX206 GPU. 16GB of memory. I love it, and use it for mostly internet browsing and gaming. On best buys website under specs, it is listed as having 2 M.2 slots. My pc has the 256 M.2 with the operating system and the `TB HDD. I added Samsung SSD 870 QVO for storing my games. I currently use the hard drive for saving videos and pictures. I want to add either a 2nd M.2 ssd, or increase the size of the one I have from the 256 to maybe a 2 TB. I know you can clone the factory m.2 stuff on to a new M.2 board. I do not see a 2nd M.2 slot on my motherboard. Do you know for sure that it is not there? or would I be better off from a budget standpoint at just cloning my m.2 on to a new, larger storage m.2? Thank you
It should be there, I believe it is under the GPU. If not then cloning to a larger drive is a great option
@@JeffTheITGuy I have seen a few comments of it being under the gpu, so that means just removing the 2 gpu screws, pulling it out, and putting the new m.2 in and re installing the gpu then? Thanks a bunch for the quick response!
@@thumper8128 yeah. If you have never removed a GPU I’d watch a video of how to do it.
@@JeffTheITGuy I actually was just on another of your videos, where you took out the 1660 to replace it with the 2080
@@JeffTheITGuy so I did see another video, and I was sort of wondering, but it looks like the other m.2 slot is the small wifi card on the corner of the motherboard. do you have a video showing step by step a simple way to clone to a larger m.2 drive, without having to get another windows key or?
I'm halfway through replacing the motherboard the aio cooler and the power supply and feel lost and defeated ☹
I’m sorry. Just follow the guides.
Hey Jeff I just bought a OMEN30L AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1TB SSD should I return it as I have zero computer knowledge and no time or knowledge to replace a motherboard? If I return it what prebuilt do you recommend for causal gaming and longevity? Thanks!
I would return it for sure. Get a Lenovo with similar specs or get an omen that has a water cooler already.
@@JeffTheITGuy If you had to choose between a Lenovo or a water cooled Omen which would you get?
@@unds85 Lenovo’s have better airflow.
@@JeffTheITGuy Thanks! I got the OMEN30L AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1TB SSD because it was on sale open box for only $1,160.00 and everything else is sold out grrrr. I will return it and look into Lenovo Thanks again Jeff
@@unds85 you’re welcome
What should I do for my first upgrade, I just got mine. I'm feeling like my power supply should be first but I only have 8gb of ram.
Ram first. Most definitely
@@JeffTheITGuy what order should I go in Ram, Power supply then cpu then gpu ?
@@JeffTheITGuy this is my motherboard PJRFC0E0GEEC50
if you can help me make my first few upgrades
@@samfiorda3489 yeah Ram, CPU, CPU Cooler, PSU, GPU, in that order
@@JeffTheITGuy You are a life saver, and when should i upgrade my mother board ? when im ready to water cool ?
Is it worth upgrading the motherboard or even the case ?
Yeah, this video shows that it is worth it to upgrade the motherboard
What do you mean cant fit a big boy graphics card? they ship now with 3070, 3080, 3090
Like a triple slot card. Big as in size not performance. Also I wouldn’t get one with a 3070 or 3080. They have about 10% + less performance than reference
@@JeffTheITGuy oh i see. I bought omen 30l with ryzen 7 and rtx 2060. I upgraded the cpu cooler and somehow damaged a memory dimm slot. So i bought the corsair 220t case and a gaming mobo, transferred everything and gave it to my girlfriend. I ordered another 30l with intel 10850k and rtx 3070. Now i am reading the i9 in the omen 30l overheatd alot so im proboly going to transfer everything to a new case as well. Do you think the 750w psu can power i9, rtx 3070, and 6 case fans?
@@kryptopcgamer589 yea
I'm planning on buying the version with the rtx 3090 what do I need to change ?
The 3090 wow. That one should already have a decent PSU, Ram and cooler. Only thing you could change really is the crappy fans.
@@JeffTheITGuy thats all?
@@BruceLee-zj5jf yeah. It should have an AIO already, if not then you can upgrade it. The power supply should be a 750W, if not I’d upgrade it to the one in my other video for the HP Omen. You could always add another HDD and a larger NVME drive.
I need help was thinking of getting the b550 Aorus pro p for my 30 omens pc and was wondering if I still need extensions cords for it?
Yes. The old motherboard is so proprietary in its connections that each cable is only long enough to make it to the connection on the stock motherboard.
Also would I need a new psu or could I wait to get that
@@PsnLogic if you replace the motherboard you either need a new power supply or a set of extensions
Okay I thought I needed both the psu and the extensions cord thanks for the help your channel has been an immense help for new people like me
Any preparations before removing and swapping parts?
Have some thermal paste, thermal paste remover or alcohol and q-tips ready, make sure you have the cable extensions if you are swapping the Mobo in the omen, make sure to have tools, and plenty of time and patience
@@JeffTheITGuy what I’m planning to do is to get the same mobo in this video and swap it to a Nzxt H510 with the same cpu cooler and I just wanted to know if I would have to do anything before or just wanting to know in general
@@yimmy6121 ahh you should be good then. You won’t need the extensions
@@JeffTheITGuy okay thanks
Hey, where did you plug the cpu pump into. I see two cpu fan ports. Is that one of them?
Yeah it’s one of the ones beside the CPU socket. It doesn’t really matter to be honest
@@JeffTheITGuy cool thank you. Would you happen to know if somehow the b550 pro 4 will fit in the 30l as well? They sent me that one and not the b550m smh.
@@mikevandersande3231 nah it has to be mATX
@@JeffTheITGuy dam it lol ok thanks. More waiting it is
do you have to get windows 10 again or what carries windows 10
It’s tied to your Microsoft account
Is the gpu of hp compatible to any motherboard?
Yea
I know this video was posted a while ago, but I'm just now considering changing my 30L mobo. In this video, you mention that the PSU will need to be replaced. Is it still recommended to replace the PSU if my 30L came with the 800W option? Are we replacing the PSU because of power requirements or because of connectivity requirements of a replacement mobo?
i had no issues with the existing 800w psu..still using it
thank you@@robizzo1436
